Rewild

A farmer lost his entire herd. No footage of the event exists. No photographs. No witnesses filmed it. The disappearance happened, but there is no image of it.

The farmer re-stages the disappearance inside a farming simulation game. The virtual becomes the only available testimony. The game was designed for entertainment, but here it becomes a documentary instrument: the only space where this event can be represented, because the real space left no trace.

Rewild asks what happens when the document can only exist in a simulation. When the game engine becomes the archive. When the virtual is not an escape from reality but the only means of accessing it. The farming sim becomes a site of memory, grief, and reconstruction.
